My PKB starts out organized and tends towards chaos as the semester progresses. I try to separate my notebooks into a personal notebooks, project notebooks, class note books, one general graduate school notebook and one assorted junk notebook. I use tags to organize by topics across notebooks. This system works really well until I get on a role and start pulling articles rapidly without as much discipline as I need or get more stressed in the middle of the semester. When evernote improved the search function organization became slightly less important, however, I certainly prefer having easily accessible notes. I have also stolen your practice of note labels being meaningful.
Many of my notes have to do with either classroom management, growth mindset, project based learning, NGSS, homework, phenomenon related to radioactivity. A majority of my EDC430 notebook has to do with one of the above topics. One of my favorite articles involved the "Intervention 3 step". I think that I really like this method. It champions the idea that directly confronting the issue wen it occurs is imperative, but time should be set aside to follow up with the students involved.
I have 75 notes from this semester which were filed under my EDC 430 plus maybe 20 that made their way into other folders. This is likely to change as I go through and organize my folders better. I don't have a lot of questions with using evernote professionally, however, I am trying to figure out if there is a way to use it with my students based on the current culture of the class and how much benefit will be gained over the course of a semester. I think evernote is something I would love to use with my students to help with research, projects, homework, and general check-ins but I would need to spend more time writing assignments in a way that is conducive to that goal.
I think that the PKB is a valuable tool as an external representation of my teacher based constructivist network. I think that immersing myself in teaching research, discussions, blogs, and helpful sources is a great way to challenge my personal beliefs and continue growing as a teacher in an unofficial capacity. It is a great way to organize/save lesson plans and materials. I think that whether I use evernote in the future or not, maintaining an active PKB is essential to staying current, motivated, and interesting to my students.
